"Sister-in-law, you should go to sleep too."
While the refugees on Ziyang Peak enjoyed a pleasant evening of eating melons, the Prince of Runan paced back and forth on Qinghua Mountain, his hair turning bald from worry.
Qinghua Mountain is high and flat, with the famous Huaning Buddhist Temple and Huaqing Taoist Temple, one in the east and one in the south.
Today, Huaning Buddhist Temple has become the stronghold of the Prince of Runan.
Huaqing Temple became the stronghold of the Prince of Jiangning.
When the flood began to spread, the Prince of Runan acted decisively, buying two large ships from the grain transport gang and taking the opportunity to rob two grain merchants on the Grand Canal of tens of thousands of catties of grain.
I thought I could rest easy and get through the natural disaster.
Once the floodwaters recede, Yuzhou will still be the top dog.
Not long ago, Xie Xiao robbed most of his grain. Enraged, he went to Song Zhijing to borrow troops to attack Black Wind Stronghold.
Song Zhi made various excuses, but it turned out he was keeping his troops to attack Xie Xiao himself, intending to take over General Mountain for himself!
"Your Highness, news has arrived. Song Zhijing fell into Xie Xiao's trap. Two thousand soldiers were wiped out, and he himself was shot and drowned!"
The Prince of Runan opened his eyes wide and exclaimed, "What!"
The entire army was wiped out! "Although Xie Xiao had several thousand men, how could they have been completely wiped out?"
The subordinate said, "I heard that they were surrounded from both sides. Also, his ex-wife, Li Ruo, incited the people to rebel. In addition, there was potent kerosene that was poured on people, and they caught fire instantly, as did the boat."
"Could it be that kind of kerosene!" The Prince of Runan exclaimed in shock.
Zhang Yun came over with a bruised and swollen face, "Does that kind of kerosene have a pungent smell?"
The subordinate thought for a moment, "It doesn't have a strong smell, just a faint hint of alcohol."
“No,” Zhang Yun said. “The kerosene that Yang Ying used to attack me had a very strong smell.”
The Prince of Runan slammed his fist on the table. "This Prince of Jiangning is so polite to me on the surface, but he's secretly plotting against me."
Zhang Yun snorted, "Even a mighty dragon can't fight a local snake. Father, what are we afraid of? Let's go to Huaqing Temple and wipe him out right now."
The Prince of Runan raised his hand, "Don't be impulsive. I heard he has a private army. Although we haven't seen them yet, who knows if they're hiding in some corner and will launch a surprise attack on us. Let's wait and see."
Qinghua Mountain is covered with dense forests, making it easy to hide tens of thousands of people. This Prince of Jiangning is extremely treacherous and should not be underestimated.
"Let's think about how to deal with Xie Xiao and take back our grain," said the Prince of Runan. "Song Zhijing is likely in grave danger, so let's bring Shu'er back."
Damn it, Shu'er is still unconscious, I don't know what kind of poison she's been poisoned by.
As the Prince of Runan was speaking, someone suddenly came to report that the Prince of Jiangning was outside the temple requesting an audience.
"Ha, he still dares to come?" Zhang Yun angrily turned to leave.
The Prince of Runan stopped him, saying, "Let's see what he has to say first."
This time, the Prince of Jiangning did not wear a mask, but instead walked in calmly wearing a silver-gray cloak...
Ziyang Peak.
The next morning, Li Ruo had Liao Fusheng write an invitation for the baby's one-month celebration.
We invited Uncle Luo, the third boss, the fourth boss, Sun Ergou, Little Li, Boss Xie... well, that's just enough for a table.
She originally planned to deliver it herself, but after thinking about it, she decided to have Old Wang deliver it instead.
It was drizzling a little today. Li Ruo went to check on the growth of the spinach. Lin Dazhu was there too, looking very happy. "Girl, our vegetables are growing well. Even the garlic has sprouted."
“Yes.” Li Ruo looked down the mountain. “But there’s only so much land. Below is dense forest. We can only cultivate a few dozen more acres at most before it becomes difficult to plant anything else.”
Besides, you can only grow vegetables there; you can't grow staple foods in a greenhouse.
Suddenly, a commotion broke out in the shed where wild buffalo and wild boars were kept.
Li Ruo and Lin Dazhu went over to take a look and found that two wild boars were "fighting".
One was hunted by their Ziyang Peak, and the other was given to them by Black Wind Village last time. They were a male and a female, and the male was currently holding the female down...
Li Ruo looked at the sky, her face slightly flushed, "How about we raise some pigs, cattle, and sheep too? That would be a good food source."
Lin Dazhu looked at the ground with a serious expression and said, "That's a good idea."
Li Ruo glanced at the circle twice, then walked down expressionlessly and called Zhou the hunter over, "Tell the other hunters that if they can keep their catch alive, they should keep it."
They could occasionally hunt rabbits, pheasants, wild boars, and the like, but later on they would run out of them, as the birds and beasts in the mountains were on the verge of extinction.
Zhou the hunter was a little puzzled. "Is it better for beasts to become extinct than for humans? Wouldn't that mean we wouldn't have any meat to eat?"
"Do you want to eat meat for one meal now, or eat meat every day from now on?" Li Ruo said. "If animals become extinct, humans will also become extinct. We need to follow the path of sustainable development."
Zhou Liehu and others: We didn't understand.
But here, the girl is the boss, and she makes the decisions.
"They're out of the kiln! They're out of the kiln!" Chen Erniu, who was in charge of firing the bricks, shouted. "Our red bricks are out of the kiln!"
Li Ruo ran over, and Liao Fusheng was directing everyone to move the cooled bricks out.
The raw bricks that went in were black, but came out red.
"How is it? How is it?"
"Is it done yet?" Everyone was even more anxious than she was.
Chen Erniu picked up two bricks and tapped them together. "Listen to the crisp sound."
Yang Huahua immediately demonstrated how to break a brick with her bare hands; with a "bang," the brick broke in two.
Everyone: ...
So, will it work or not?
The foreman, Master Liao, weighed the brick in his hand, then tapped it, and laughed, "Not bad, it's light, makes a crisp sound, and has sharp edges. It's a good brick."
The professionals all said so, and everyone cheered.
"The greenhouses are being built! The greenhouses are being built!"
The shouts were deafening.
"Young lady, how about we celebrate?" Old Zhou chuckled. "Double happiness! You and Boss Xie's wedding is just around the corner. How about we give everyone an extra steamed bun today?"
